Stick to the Basics - By Hiker Frank

9/2/2007

Since the 70s I've hiked almost everywhere. I pack my pack by seperataing "necessary" and "nice-to-have" items. At the top of the "necessary" list is water, then food and the rest is optional.
Also, over the years I've gon through most of the outdoor books, magazines and fads but I stick to the basics. At the top of my "necessary" list is Backpacker Magazine. I'ts everything you need to know about backpacking....ever. The rest is optional.
